1. Rephrasing a Jonny Q: "Will Gigantic Battles be back this Christmas in addition to the scheduled Masterworks Galactus or is he replacing that release vehicle this year"?

2. I'll try rephrasing my Nick Fury question from above to avoid the will he be released part: "Marvel Exclusive MU Nick Fury is fetching $70-$90 on eBay lately so it appears fans like him. The IM2 line also looks to release a Sam Jackson figure that can easily double as an "Ultimate" Nick Fury. So, it looks as if MU should see classic Nick released again perhaps before an MU Ultimate Nick is needed. Does the Marvel Exclusive deal prevent or slow Nick from being re-released perhaps in a different release format or slightly different deco?"

3. "Hasbro MU team deserves praise for the improved QC, sculpt and artic from recent waves. Hopefully more characters will get thigh swivels and be able to look up when they fly. With the Ms Marvel body still being used for upcoming Kitty Pryde (instead of a smaller body), why wasn't the MU female body given comparable arm articulation to StarWars or Joe females? Will the female MU arms be improved and might the waist swivel be eliminated when a new generic female body is introduced?"

I love the idea of us taking the time to do this, because by doing this, we Arkers can hammer out and choose our three questions, so when we are officially asked to submit (assuming it'll be in a new thread) we can simply just post our three that we agreed to.

Has the "Wolverine and the X-Men" toy line been completely cancelled, never to return, or has the delay on Season 2 of the animated series caused a delay in the product line as well? Is the marketing strategy of the line to continue as long as there are new episodes airing or will the television series continue without a supporting toy line?

Is there any possible way to upgrade the plastic or retool the joints on the MU figures so they don't fall apart as easily? My children have dozens of recent Star Wars figures and 25th style GI Joes and I don't think I've ever seen a detached arm or a leg in their toy bins, but I'd say about 1 out of every 4 MU figures loses a limb within fifteen minutes of opening (without my children touching them).

My Green Goblin and Hobgoblin from series 1 have exactly one leg position that doesn't end in limb loss and won't go on their gliders. Sunfire from series 2 lost his arm at the shoulder coming out of the package and the joint is stretch out and won't go back on. Most of the figures with chest articulation are beginning to slouch. Why does this toy line fall apart when related toylines (GI Joe, Star Wars, and even Indiana Jones) have sturdy joints and hard plastic limbs?

What's the issue with quality in this line? The Marvel Universe line seems so flimsy and a few of them just plain fall apart. In comparison to the X-men Origins Wolverine, the Spiderman 3.75's and GI Joes lines these just don't hold up to the age range they're supposed to. I collect as well as buy for my 4 year old and would like to see an improvement in quality. Any chance?

Case in point, the Doctor Doom figure which was amazing in sculpt and detail but is unplayable with. My son keeps losing its head and he can't hold his gun and the joints are flimsy.

Will you be making the other Havok versions, Xfactor or the older xmen?
Will you be making the Ironfist with open shirt and high collar?
Will you be making the Colossus with yellow/Red knee covers?
You guys should release more of them more often, like a wave of singles and a wave of 2-packs every month or something, if its possible.

Haha I like this question because my GG and HB are exactly the same way.

FIGURE STANDS!!!! I'm dying to know

Something along the lines of....

It was stated in last year's Q and A that Hasbro was going to release stands for SHIELD series MU figures. Has there been any talk on where this may be released (exclusive online?) and what design they would take after (would you guys give out an entire list of figures made and X amount of stands?)

2. How long will must any particular MU body stay in service before it get scrapped or improved? E.g. will we expect new MU articulation improvements make it into already existing bodies that would benefit from it, like Spider-Man?

Not a question: These question rules are a pain in the ass. I understand some of the restrictions probably stem from legal issues, but it doesn't seem to me like there's much information we can get when the topics are so limited.

Question: If the Wal-Mart exclusive Iron Man 2 6" assortment is a big success, how likely is it that there might be another wave or two?

Question: There have been concerns expressed about scalping of the Wal-Mart exclusive Iron Man 2 6" assortment, particularly War Machine. Do you have any way to mitigate this, for the sake of honest consumers like me that cannot or will not pay exorbitant amounts of money for these figures on online auction sites?

I agree with your question its very troubling that scalpers will get these figures before we the actual fans can and I wouldn't buy them on ebay either at double or triple the price.

The rules are definitely limitations but it is standard for all Hasbro action figure brands now, it was implemented starting this year.
